Level 20

Folded to Dennis Huntly on the button and he would open it up to 36,000. Luke Spano flat-called from the small blind and then it was on Corey Kempson in the big blind. Kempson three-bet to 117,000 and Huntly called. Spano got out of the way and the dealer slid out a 
flop.
Kempson led out for 109,000 here and Huntly made a fairly quick call.
On the 
turn, Kempson checked and Huntly moved all in for 364,000.
Kempson went into the tank.
"Well done," Kempson quipped as he folded. "Just got two outered for sure."
Kempson is still going strong on over 700,000. Huntly, meanwhile, is one of the leaders with 900,000.

Luke Edwards is a former ANZPT runner-up but he won’t be matching that result here in Melbourne after his recent elimination from the tournament.
Luke Spano opened with a raise to 26,000 before Edwards moved all in for around 130,000 with his 
. Action folded back to Spano who quickly called with a dominant 
.
“It’s ok, I’m running good,” chucked Edwards as the 
community cards brought him no help.
“How about the three of spades,” said Edwards but instead the 
landed which did offer Edwards some outs to a chop.
Unfortunately for him, the wasn’t help required to see him eliminated in 21st place. Meanwhile Spano is going great guns and now has over 1.2 million in chips.

Vincent Chua has been an entertaining player to watch over the last few days and that continues to be the case today.
We picked up the action of a recent hand on a 
. Chua was in the big blind position and put a bet of 55,000. His opponent, Adrian Bolzonello, made the call from the button and the dealer flipped over a on the turn. This time Chua checked and Bolzonello bet 115,000. Chua called and a 
completed the board on the river. Chua once again checked and Bolzonello bet 160,000. Chua called and the two players turned their hands over.
Bolzonello had 
for a bluff, while Chua had for a pair of sevens - which he hit on the river, after floating the turn with just a gut-shot straight draw.

Luke Spano is the first player over 1 million in chips.
He got to seven-figures by sending Shao Liu to the rail.
We arrived after the chips had already gone in, but it appeared Liu had opened from the hijack, Spano had three-bet in on the button, Liu shoved and Spano called it off.
Liu had 
against Spano's 
.
The board ran out 
and Liu was eliminated in 22nd place.
As Spano raked in his chips, he and tablemate Corey Kempson gave each other a rambunctious high five.

"The God's are here!" joked Wayde Rickhuss as the dealer flipped over a 
flop. Rickhuss was down to 33,000 and was all in preflop holding against the 
of big stack Dylan Honeyman. Clearly Rickhuss was happy to see that flop. The 
turn gave Honeyman some straight outs, but the 
river was safe and so Rickhuss had doubled up.

Henry Tran has quickly found himself on the rail following the break.
Tran was one of the shorter stacks in the field and was eager to get his chips all in preflop holding . Unfortunately for Tran, he ran into the of Adrian Bolzonello.
Tran ended up hitting a set on the 
board, but that ten on the river made Bolzonello a straight and with that, Tran was out in 24th place for a $6,250 score.
